ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING UNIT
Contact: Alicia Pérez
Environmental issues, as seen from a business point of view, have gone from being considered in terms of cost to being ones of opportunity.
The Environmental Unit provides answers to the growing industrial needs in this field and works from diagnosis to the development of the most complex projects for correcting pollution problems, special emphasis being placed on minimization at the point of origin, and modern Zero Pollution technologies.
It is, moreover, a pioneer in the implementation of Environmental Management Systems as the most up to date tool in the control of industrial pollution.
The unit possesses pilot laboratory and industrial plant, in diverse separation technologies (micro, ultra and nanofiltration, dialysis, pervaporation, etc.), as well as having its own waste purifying plant.

Quality Management
Quality related tasks have been focused on assessing companies on the application of ISO 9000 standards. This application, based on quality management through systems formalization, has enabled companies to gain first hand knowledge of the management techniques outlined in the standards, as well as improving their competitiveness by defining quality objectives, both in the short and long term.
The team provides technical knowledge related to the productive activities of companies in the sector, thus enhancing the value of work being carried out.
